My how time flies! Fifty years ago - February 9, 1964...
Time to sound off. Were you one of the 75 million viewers who saw the Beatles perform for the first time on American TV on the Ed Sullivan Show?
I was and it was amazing to say the least.

Yes Dan, I was. I was 11 1/2 years old, and sat in my parents' bedroom and watched this amazing rock and roll band on TV. I hadn't really listened to much music up to that point, but after seeing them my parents bought me a little record player and I started to buy 45's. Albums came later.
I also saw the Beatles live twice, in 1964 and again in 1966. And as I type I'm listening to a special edition of the weekly show Breakfast with the Beatles, honoring the anniversary. It's hosted by Ken Dashow, who is a Beatles fanatic.

I was twelve and fourteen when I saw them, so today it is a kind of a blur. There are many things I remember about those two concerts, but I couldn't tell you one song I heard (at the first concert the microphones broke and you could only hear their guitars. That mechanical failure has been well documented).

Harrison with Shankar, Lennon for the John Sinclair bene, Ringo at Buffy Sainte Maries house.......(never saw Paul separately though).

On another note, does it really seem that time has flown?
To me it seems like many lifetimes have passed for me since 64.

I remember it well.
I also remember the Stones having to change "let's spend the night together" to "let's spend some time together" "The Beatles? weren't they Paul McCartney's band before Wings?"
